England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test

That's all we have for you today. Hope you enjoyed the game. Looking forward to your company in the future too. Cheers and goodbye.

Cook: "I think we put in a really good performance. Everyone put their hand up in this game. It was a fantastic hundred on the first day by Root. Swanny has done it for a few years for now. Getting 10 wickets here was special. The two wins here has given us a lot of confidence. If you are picking on one percenters, then yeah we batted a little slowly. We wanted to set up a big target and give the bowlers enough time for the pitch to wear out a bit."

McCullum: "I think the gulf between the two sides has been exposed in this match. We competed well in the last couple of months but England flexed their muscles. We were not able to post the runs. We knew we could get 20 wickets. We have the makings of an excellent cricket team. If we stick around together for the next 18 months, I'm sure we can grow into a very good cricket team. England rightly deserved to win this game."

Southee: "It would have been nice to continue where we left off in Auckland. The conditions have been good. There was a lot of swing. We are all pretty young and we will get better hopefully. We've shown glimpses and hopefully we grow into a better Test side."

Tim Southee is the New Zealand player of the series.

Root: "To do this on my home ground is really nice. I've not tried to change too much about my game. I've just tried to keep it simple. I will remember this for the rest of my life. I'm not bothered where I bat. I just love to play."

Joe Root is the England player of the series.

Swann: "I never thought I would get a wicket here. Big thank you to the people who turned out today despite the forecast. Special mention for Joe Root. I think he should have got this for getting a 100 on his home ground. I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer now."

Graeme Swann is the Man of the Match for his 10 wicket haul.

Cook will heave a mighty sigh of relief now. There had been a lot of criticism of his defensive captaincy style. New Zealand could have forced a draw had the rain been heavier. That was not to be and they lost 0-2. England were utterly dominant throughout this Test and never allowed the visitors to get back into the game at any point. Swann, Cook and Joe Root were the stars for the hosts. Stay on to find out who will be the Man of the Match.

We're just about to start play now. 95.2 overs left in the day for England to force a win if rain does not intervene again.

11:20 AM, local time: New coming in is that play will start at 11:45 AM. The England players are already out on the ground for their warm-ups.

11:15 AM, local time: All the covers are off now. Another inspection is awaited shortly.

10:50 AM, local time: Hello and welcome everyone. Not so great news to begin with. There is a bit of rain and the start is going to be delayed. However it is not too heavy. Only the pitch is covered at the moment and the umpires are out for an inspection. Stay tuned. We'll bring you further updates as we get them

England, as expected, are firmly in control of the match. They set the visitors a huge target and as expected, the Kiwis have crumbled. Taylor played well for his 70 but the star of the day was Swann, who has already got 4 wickets. England need only 4 more wickets for a victory. New Zealand need a miracle, or rain.

Welcome back. Swann with the ball.

The pitch is assisting turn and Swann is looking really dangerous. Rutherford was the only batsman who looked compact till he was there at the crease. It is likely to be a one man show from now on and the bad news for New Zealand is that it might not be one of them. Join us in 20 minutes for the last session. The only hope for them might be rain Gods relenting and if the forecast is anything to go by, the visitors might get lucky.

Hello and welcome to the coverage of the 4th day's play here at Leeds. England didn't enforce the follow-on yesterday and Trott played very slowly. The weather is fine today, but rain is expected tomorrow. Can we expect England to score some quick runs and declare today? Stay tuned for all the action that takes place....

It's been England's day through and through. The bowlers did well to give them a good lead. They then decided to bat on and Cook came out leading from the front. The skipper batted positively to boost the lead and you could see the life ebb away from the Kiwis. They looked tired after running ragged for long hours. England will look to drive home the advantage tomorrow. Join us for that at 11:00 AM, local time. Cheers and goodbye for noe.

Good crowd at Headingly today. It looks like a bright and sunny day.

Hello and welcome to the third day of the second Test between England and New Zealand at Headingly. We had a see-saw day yesterday as England took in the honours in the final session. It was all about Joe Root yesterday and England have done well to reach to 337. New Zealand did well to take quick wickets in the end and they would be keen on wrapping up things early. Stay tuned....

England have surged ahead in the last session. They scored 159 despite losing 4 wickets in the session. The unbeaten duo capitalised on a tiring New Zealand side and gathered useful runs. Joe Root had starred earlier with a well compiled hundred on his home ground. Boult's burst with the 2nd new ball helped New Zealand fight back but Prior and Swann negated the damage with a quickfire stand. We'll be back again at 11:00 AM, local time tomorrow. Do join us then. Cheers and goodbye for now.

36.5 Boult to Ian Bell, no run, back of a length delivery outside off, Bell intended to play at that and let it pass at the last instant. Muffled appeal from McCullum.

35.6 Southee to Ian Bell, no run, good call from Bell. Length delivery on middle, it angled in and hit Bell right on front pad, just above the knee roll.

First ball. Boult drops the ball and races with it as it rolls along the turf.

Welcome back for another session of Test cricket. If the first session is anything to go by, expect nothing less than an intriguing and exciting battle now.

The late double strike has shifted the balance towards New Zealand. England lost Compton early but Cook and Trott looked solid in the middle. They looked set for a big partnership but lost their concentration, and their wickets, towards the end of the session. New Zealand will be the happier team at the lunch break. Join us for the second session.

Hello and a warm welcome to all for the second and final Test between England and New Zealand at Headingly, Leeds. Last week at Lords, New Zealand on the brink of a famous victory, lost the plot completely thanks to the confounding swing of Anderson and Broad. England capitalized on the opportunity and secured a massive win which they will like to repeat here too. The visitors, on the other hand, would like to redeem themselves and come back stronger. Daniel Vettori has been ruled out due to lack of fitness and McCullum will have to look for other options. Martin Guptill will replace BJ Watling. Toss and teams in 15 mins...Stay tuned...
